Equiv of Eclipse move text up/down? Follow
In Eclipse, I can use Alt+Up/Down Arrow to move the selected lines up
and down within the source. Is there an equivalent action in R#?
Please sign in to leave a comment.
This can be done with the commands:
ReSharper_MoveDown
ReSharper_MoveUp

But they don't have shortcut keys assigned to it out of the box.

Hello Gabriel Lozano-Moran,
They should have shortcuts assigned, specifically Alt-Shift-Ctrl-Up/Down
Also note, that you can sometimes reorder things "horizontally" with Alt-Shift-Ctrl-Left/Right,
e.g. method parameters.
CAUTION: It is textual change, not refactoring, so usages won't be updated,
and code validity is not meant to be maintained.

Actually as far as I know there are double commands:
ReSharper.MoveDown and ReSharper.ReSharper_MoveDown
ReSharper.MoveUp and ReSharper.ReSharper_MoveUp
The difference between the two commands is that ReSharper.MoveDown will move
down a selection whilst ReSharper.ReSharper_MoveDown will move down the
current line. And for the commands to move down or up a selection there are
no assigned shortcuts.
Correct me if I am wrong.

Hello,
The command ID is “MoveDown” in both cases, so I'd be rather surprised to
see them functioning differently. The duplication is a side-effect of Visual
Studio integration, possibly coming from older R# versions.

For example, if I'm on a method declaration, it moves the entire method

I'm not used it at the moment.
Also, R# appears to act only on the line the cursor is on, regardless of
the selected lines - where Eclipse moves whatever lines are included
(even if only partially) in the highlighted section.
So, in Eclipse, if I have two lines inside a conditional section that I
want to move up before the conditional section, I can select parts of
both lines, then Alt+Up a few times and it will move these lines for me
(and auto-outdent them).
In R#, I can only move the 'thing' I'm on ... ignores the selected lines.
In R# -- well, this is weird. Given this starting code:
if (thingIsTrue)
{
foo();
}
else
{
bar();
}
If I put my cursor on line 3 (foo()), I can move this line down into the
else block, but then I can't move the line back up into the first if
block?!? That's strange... I can move it up and down before or after the
bar() call, but it limits me to stay in the else block ... ? Or is this
user error?
(Just installed 3.1 today - upgraded from 2.5.2).
Ah, thx for that explanation. I saw that in there before, but wasn't
sure what it did.

This looks like a bug, actually :)

Hello,
We appreciate your feedback. The corresponding JIRA request has been created,
and you are welcome to monitor its status at http://www.jetbrains.net/jira/browse/RSRP-58701.
You may want to check our request tracking policy here: http://www.jetbrains.net/confluence/display/ReSharper/ReSharperIssueTracker
Best regards,
- Development Team.
This thread feels like a good point for me to interject a minor feature request concerning the move up/down feature:
If you move, say, a method up (ctrl-alt-shift Up) in a long class, as you start to move up, you reach the top of the edit window, at which point the edit window starts to scroll.
However, because you're at the very top of the window, you can't see what's above you as you scroll.
It feels to me that it would be nice if the window started to scroll a bit before you reached the top, so that you could get some idea what was above you.
I doubt this is possible, but without asking, I'll never know...
Hello Chris,
Now about the moves, once the bug is submitted.
Up/down moves (should move) it on the same level of nesting. Like if you have
if (cond)
{
DoSmth();
}
foo(); // caret is here
And then invoke move up, you have foo() before the if. It makes it easy to
reorder statements on the same level.
If you want to put foo() inside the if block, you have to use move right,
i.e. move it to nested scope. This currently would work if you put foo()
before the if clause. Or, alternatively, (I guess it is ReSharper 4 early
builds feature) you can move "}" down.
It is possible, that it is not right way to do things. We'd appreciate detailed
description of how it works in Eclipse, or how you would like to see it.

Hello Will,
It is possible, of course. You could file request in our JIRA issue tracker.
However, when caret is after the method, you may not see the signature
of the method, if the method is long enough.
Probably, better way of moving things around is using File Structure and
drag'n'drop there?

Ok - knowing the Move Right/Left as a way to move it inside the braces
is good.
Eclipse is really simple about things:
- whatever lines are contained in the current highlight section are
moved up or down
- other than proper indenting, Eclipse makes no attempts to be smart
about the move, it'll gladly move the lines into an illogical place and
leave the code in a state that won't compile. (It's probably easier to
experience than describe - Alt+Up/Down are the default shortcuts).
Sounds like the R# approach is as good as Eclipse's - just different. I
think Eclipse's is perhaps more intuitive, at least for a beginner - but
maybe R#s is more powerful because it tries to help keep the integrity
of the code intact.
Now that I know about the Right/Left as well, I try playing with it and
see how it goes. (Well, I would like to be able to move multiple lines
at once...)
Hello Chris,
CM> Well, I would like to be able to move multiple lines at once...
Well, the only way to have it eventually is to create request in our issue
tracking system.
People tend to forget what was discussed in forums... And ReSharper developers
are human beings, belive it or not :)

Hello Chris,
Thanks for feedback!
It's a bug indeed.
To move the statement to an outer block use ControlAltShift+Left (you can
then use ControlAltShift+Right to move a statement back into an if block
when it's positioned right before the if statement)
